Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

thanks dude

I’m scared to buy one used. They’re usually so freakin thrashed and abused. I want one thats mint, preferably all stock.

 

Damn straight! Thanks dude

 

Indeed. The other I do not speak of.

 

Well you can find one that’s almost mint used. A lot of times kids just aren’t into riding. I found a couple that literally smelled new, but it is like anything..a search.

 

Been looking all year so far. New is insane. They’re higher than a giraffe's ass charging over $3k OTD for a $2500 bike.

I have seen two that looked mint but were 21 or 22 and still asking $2600 which is too much imo.

I would like $2k or less and as new and unmolested as possible

 

Yep, I have been looking as well. People are out of their minds with used prices

 

Thinking about pouncing on this deal for a hydration pack from Giant Loop. I'm signed up for their emails and thought I'd share.

These are just screen shots from the email, so the "shop now" button won't actually work. I'd point you to Dork in the Road's YouTube channel and using one of his affiliate links just because he's a big part of why I have a bike again.

 

I think i saw ads for it. Looks good for a backpack

 

My boots should be coming on Monday, via UPS.
Hopefully wont have another shipping fiasco like Fedex gave me with the bags.

Still havent loaded out the bags, but i just realized they have little see through windows on them so you can see whats in each. Really helpful.

 

Wife wanted to hang out with me today, so I invited her with while I got some photos of the skid plate and some drone footage for the upcoming video and she snapped this pic. Made me laugh while I was looking through them. Baby little Grom wheelies.

Oh, and here's the actual finished plate!

 

Does your wife ride or was it two up on the grom?

 

Dang it! I was hoping you were going to say you got her to ride it. I need to get my wife back on the Grom. She rode it once 3 years ago.

 

It's like a mile from our house, she drove her jeep I don't have any passenger pegs on my grom anymore, so no 2 up for us. She'll ride passenger on the BMW every once in a while, but I have yet to convince her to ride anything on her own, unfortunately. I tried to get her to swing a leg over today but she wasn't having any of it.

 

Got it out last week for the first time this year (been sitting since last Oct.). Found it being really choppy/hesitant (like lack of fuel) at higher revs. Redid fuel lines before it came out and am now realizing a bend in the one of the lines may be my cause . Excited to hopefully get all (10hp) of the power back tomorrow .

 

I learned how to ride on one of these!

 

Man, that brings back a lot of memories !!!

 

So looks like i have some maintenance to do on the AT. Need coolant, possibly air filters..

 

Ordered both. RMATV to the rescue! $98 shipped

 

New store popped up nearby, that was nice to see
